Items in Join
Items are how Join allows you to track ideas to be explored or decisions to be made. Each Item has a set of information to make it easy to brainstorm, analyze, and review an Item. You can associate the costs of each idea against your Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), track its status and history, collaborate and comment with the project team, or create mutually exclusive Items using Options.
Creating an Item
Turn your idea into an Item by adding a few pieces of basic information and optionally add accountability by tracking a due date and assignee.
Detailed Item View
Use the Detailed Item View to add costs and supporting information, collaborate with the project team, or create mutually exclusive Options.
Items List
Once you have created several Items, use the Items List to sort, filter, and group them, and to create dynamic or static reports of Item information.
